1994 CADILLAC DEVILLE spare tire

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If the light stays on, turn the ignition off. Or, if the light comes on when
you’re driving, stop as
soon as possible and turn the ignition off. Then
start the engine again to reset the system. If the light still stays on, or
comes
on again while you’re driving, your Cadillac needs service. If the
regular brake system warning light isn’t on,
you still have brakes, but you
don’t have anti-lock brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is
also on, you don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with your
regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light” earlier
in this part.
The anti-lock brake system warning light may also come on when you are
driving with a compact spare tire. If this happens, the light means you
won’t have anti-lock until you replace the compact spare with a full-size
tire.
If the warning light stays on after you replace the compact spare with
a full-size tire, or if it comes on again when you’re driving, your Cadillac
needs service.
Engine Temperature Warning Light (Canadian Only)
This light tells you that
your engine has
overheated. You should
stop the car and idle the
engine as soon as
possible. A warning
chime should also sound
if this light comes on. As
a check, the light should
come on for a few
seconds when
you start
your engine.
HOT COOLANT CAN BURN YOU BADLY!
In “Problems on the Road,” this manual shows what to do. See “Engine
Overheating” in the Index.

COMPACT SPARE TIRE
~ Although the compact spare was fully inflated when your vehicle was
new,
it can lose air after a time. Check the inflation pressure regularly. It
should be

speed limits for distances up
to 3,000 miles (5 000 km). The compact
~ spare is made to go up to 3,000 miles (5 000 km), so you can finish your
trip and have
your full-size. tire repaired or replaced where you want. Of

can. Your spare will last longer and

Bad wear
Bad handling
Bad fuel economy.
If your tires have too much air (overinflation), you can get:
Unusual wear
Bad handling
Rough ride
Needless damage from road hazards.

How to Check Use a good quality pocket-type gage to check tire
pressure. Simply looking at
the tires will not tell you the pressure,
especially
if you have radial tires -- which may look properly inflated even
if they’re underinflated.
